neurologists
Nervous system specialists
Neurologists are medical doctors who specialize in disorders of the nervous system—the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
They diagnose and treat conditions like epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and migraines.
Unlike neurosurgeons, neurologists typically treat patients with medication and therapy rather than surgery: The neurologist ordered an MRI to investigate her recurring headaches.
